Wheelchair Availability at LAX

If one has a pre printed boarding pass, is it necessary to go to the airline counter to obtain wheelchair assistance, or is there a separate wheelchair assistance area?

Even having a pre-printed boarding pass you have to either check in curb side or go to the airline counter . Reason being that they have to contact the service, give them your name and gate/flight info. Your boarding pass envelope with be handed back with a confirmation number and you will than be directed as to where to go to wait for wheelchair assistance.

I used wheelchair assistance at LAX after departing a Hawaii cruise in 2016 and it was an all-around horrible experience. I wish you better luck than I had. Just realize you may need to be insistent that someone wheel you to the restroom, and out to the gate area - where I was told I'd have to vacate the wheelchair and climb onto an electric cart to be taken to the gate. Worst service I've ever had at any airport.

Thanks for replies. This does not sound promising for a solo traveler.
